Fong's P.O.V

I wanna call you up
Tell you how I feel
But I might scare you away if
I get too real

"Ohm, for fucks sake I AM TRYING TO STUDY HERE." I shouted really loud as i kicked him off my bed. He was literally playing a new song by Lany called 'good guys' and for goodness sake the volume is even higher than my future. 

 "UGH WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU???" He shouted back and i just rolled my eyes. this piece of shit is so dumb.

"damn, i'm just trying to understand the lyrics." he annoyingly said as he put himself back to my bed, busy reading the translation of the song.

So I won't text back
For a couple hours
What I really wanna do is
Bring you flowers

I knew what the song meant, i knew what it's trying to express and it's actually disappointing to admit that i can actually relate to it. I just want Ohm to play another song...

I'm not gonna hold your hand
Ask if you wanna dance
Not gonna take you home, even though

"even though i want to." i said in english without knowing that my heart is already aching so bad.

I just wanna give you everything
Show you I'm a Southern gentleman
All I wanna do is let you in
But good guys, good guys never win

"Fong..." Ohm slowly said as he looked back at me with his worried face.  "is this song all about a guy keeping his feelings to the person he likes because he knew the person he cares about already love someone else?" he shyly asked while scratching his head in regret.  

"yup." i laughed, letting ohm know that it's fine, that he didn't do anything wrong, even though he literally opened up a feeling i wanted to let go. 

He eventually walked towards the chair beside me and looked at me with those worried eyes. "are you okay?"

"of course! it's been years already, remember?" i smiled while tapping his back. "let's just pretend that this never happened at all"

Ohm slowly nodded but still disappointed at himself. 

"YOW!!!!"

The door suddenly slummed open and there was phuak with tine laughing their asses off while bringing a huge bag of snacks.

"YA'LL TINE IS FEEDING US WITH SO MUCH LOVE!!!" phuak excitedly said while putting the bag of chips on the kitchen with tine.

Ohm suddenly tapped my shoulders and gave me a smile. "you're really strong, i salute you." he said and i just laughed at him. "yeah right, you're the one who likes phuak!"

Ohm widened his eyes and immediately smacked my thighs. "Hey! You totally misunderstood me, i don't like hi--"

"I used to say that Ohm and trust me, i'll support you even though you, phuak and tine... like guys too." i smiled as i looked down, imagining tine happy with another guy.

"FONG I SWEAR TO GOD I DON'T LIKE HIM!!!"

"Yow yow, did we miss something here?" tine asked, while holding a glass of orange juice on his hand.

"F-fong is crazy, don't talk to him." Ohm said as he scratched the back of his nape, trying to lessen the tense away.

Phuak walked towards tine and held his shoulders. "Guys, this shit has something to say." he said, proud...
